Feline

The Felines, or cats, are a race of extraterrestrial sapients from the now-destroyed planet Felinos.

Features
The Felines are small, furry quadrepeds that could easily be mistaken for a non-sapient creature. They have pointed ears, slit-pupiled green eyes, and long tails and whiskers. They normally communicate by meowing, but are perfectly capable of speaking in english. They have a natural night-vision and are carnivorous, but spend most of their time relaxing in the light of a sun. Felines have many non or semi-sapient subspecies, most notably lions, tigers, and lepards. The Felines have very sophisticated technology.

History
500,000 years ago, the Felines waged war with a neighboring species, the Canines. After decades of intense warfare, both Felinos and the Canine homeworld ,Cania, were destroyed. Because of this, the Felines and the Canines agreed to end the war and search for a new planet to colonise, and years later they came upon Earth. The Orion Ark, the starship they came in, was buried under the dunes of Egypt over the millenia.
